'''GraphPad Prism''' is a commercial scientific 2D graphing and [[statistics software]] available for both Windows and Macintosh computers.

Alternatives to GraphPad Prism are [[SciDAVis]], [[SigmaPlot]], [[Origin (data analysis software)]] and interfaces to [[R (programming language)|R]].<ref>[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=pubmed&cmd=DetailsSearch&term=graphpad&log$=activity PubMed articles citing GraphPad Prism] are 475 as of December 2017, while [https://www.google.it/search?q={{urlencode:"r software" OR "r project" OR "r language" site:www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/}} PubMed articles mentioning R] are about 1320.</ref>

===Features===

* Provides statistical guidance for novices.

* Analysis checklists review if an appropriate analysis was performed.

* [[Nonlinear regression]] with many options (remove outliers, compare models, compare curves, interpolate standard curves, etc.).

* Live links. When data are edited or replaced, Prism automatically updates the results and graphs.

* Analysis choices can be reviewed, and changed, at any time.

* Automatic [[error bars]]. Raw data (replicates) can be entered, and then plotted as mean with SD, SEM or confidence interval.
